In this part of the Point task I wanted to focus on the very interesting season of our new Ultimus champions, the Colorado Yeti. The Yeti' season was particularly interesting because the Yeti effectivly had 3 Streaks. They started out the season the strongest among the league by far, had a long and surprising losing streak to then bounce back to make their playoff run. Obviously the win streak at the end of the season continued into the playoffs to secure the trophy.
The Yeti started the season with a 5-0 streak. They mangaged to defeat the wraiths in week 1, the liberty week 2, one the new expansion franchise (the sailfish) in week 3, the butchers in week 4 and the hawks in week 5.
Let's be honest, the teams the yeti had to face do not wow you very much now, since all of them except for the wraiths ended up missing the playoffs, nonetheless these wins were very important. they ended this streak with a point differential of 114-49 so they literally outperformed their rivals with double the points.
After that the Yeti lost surprisingly last second to my arizona outlaws. After that they had to face the Orange County Otters, a game that you can lose (honestly most people expect you to lose against the otters). Another surprise came in week 8 when the yeti lost to the second expansion team the honolulu hahalua. Not only did they lose, they also got shutdown in a low scoring 0-14 week 8 matchup.
In Week 9, the wraiths wanted a rematch and destroyed the Yetis. The wraiths obviously improved a lot throughout the season and won in a dominant fashion against the colorado yeti. The wraiths outscored the yeti with 3 scores. After that the yeti went a bit up-and-down in their last couple of matchups but they also were not too worried of missing the playoffs after winning against the liberty. Ultimately, they ended the season with 8-5.
In the first game of the playoffs the yeti had to face the sarasota sailfish once again. The last two time they met they went 1-1. Should be a fun matchup right? The Colorado rushing offense just DESTROYED the sailfish. 3 TDs with over 200 yards, that's pretty impressive. For the Championship the Yeti had to face the wraiths once again. This matchup got really interesting and boy, it was intense. The Yeti ultimately ended up winning the championship game by just 1 point. This might have been a sign of what to come in the ultimus. The Yeti somehow pulled off a 21-3 comeback to end the game against the orange county otters with a 25-24. The Yeti season really was an intense up and down roller coaster ride and it was amazing!

I want to dedicate this task to one of my fantasy football work horses of this past season: Cooter Bigsby. Bigsby might actually be one of the more underrated NSFL Quarterbacks in the past few years, this year though he was at the top of his game all season long. Just recently Bigsby was nominated for the S22 Pro Bowl as the second Quarterback of the NSFC. Now for his case to become the QBOY, let us take a look at his stats this season. Bigsby is the Touchdown leader in the NSFL's 22th season. He led the league with 29 touchdown, which averages 2,2 Touchdowns per game. This might very likely have been the key factor to the very successful yellowknife wraith's season. That gets even more impressive when you consider the type of offense the wraiths were running this season. The wraiths have two really good runningbacks in mathias hanyadi and acura skyline. Hanyadi rushed for over 1200 yards, skyline for over 900 and 16 combined touchdowns. I think it shows how efficient Bigsby was in the redzone, capitalizing these yards for touchdowns when the defenses have to predict a strong rushing game. Bisgby used the situation in yellowknife perfectly to his advantage: He converted most of his redzone trips into touchdowns and was also able to get on the horse when needed to rush for a first down, ultimately resulting in 100 rushing yards.
Another factor of the success of Bigsby was, of course, one of the best receiver in the NSFL: Nate Swift. Swift and Bigsby had an outstanding connection in this past season, connecting for 11 passing touchdowns. You do not want to think Bigsby built his success on this elite receiver: he distributed the ball really well, ultimately ending the season with 4 receivers with around 500 or more yards.
Bigsby ended the season in the top 3 of the (maybe most-) important categories for Quarterbacks: Yards (3rd with 3213yards), QB Rating (2nd with 93.6) and, like I mentioned, leading the league in touchdowns with 29 while also only throwing 8 Interceptions. The least interceptions thrown by a QB this year were 7(!). Bigsby therefore not only threw the most tds, he nearly threw the least amount of interceptions.
Bigsby showed improvement in his efficiency after coming out of a strong year in S21 where he led the league in passing yards. He raised his passing touchdowns from 20 while only throwing 1 more INT.
I think bigsby really proved himself as a top QB in the NSFL. Bigsby did not have the pleassure to have won an award yet and I think after this season it's is time to do just that.
Thanks for my 1# place in fantasy football, Cooter!
